The worst lines in the trailer for Frank Miller’s The Spirit
“I’m gonna kill you all kinds of dead.”
“I’m the octopus. I got eight of everything!”
“Sans Serif!” (I think it’s the name of a character. Seriously. It’s either that or an interjection, in which case I’m gonna start using it.)
“Somebody get me a tie. ...
Reminder: Paris Hilton is a porn star
Just so you don’t forget, Paris Hilton agreed to the release of and profits from a video of her having sex. Actual, non-simulated sex. And this isn’t for “art,” like the movie Seven Songs or The Brown Bunny.

Great stuff from the LA branch of UCB Comedy. Here’s the outtakes that inspired it.
Haven’t been crazy about most of The Mountain Goats recent output, but this is pretty good if only for the real-life description of a Mario Bros. dungeon.
This blew my mind last night. Sooooo good. Take ‘em down, Jonny.
